Who gives a crap? Can’t they just go/don’t go and not be so dramatic about it? Feel it’s against your conscience or better judgement? Fine. Then be a man and bow out gracefully....and quietly.

Reporters were asking the players if they would attend a celebration at the White House as soon as they won..... predictable and meaningless.

There are plenty of useful idiots to play drums for the MSM who truly resemble a self-licking ice cream cone.

I was fine when Tim Thomas of the Boston Bruins refused to visit Obama’s White House when the Bruins won the Stanley Cup a few years ago, and I was impressed with the public statement he made about it at the time.

This guy Doolittle might be a leftist nitwit but on principle I’m fine with the way he’s gone about this.

That is exactly the message I was about to post so
I’ll just say that I would respect the guy if he
just announced that he wasn’t going to attend and
leave it at that. Even better would be to not go and
not comment period. I think he disrespects teammates
who might prefer to not attend but will go to maintain
harmony. He puts others in a position to almost be
compelled to explain themselves to the media when they
would prefer to keep it to themselves.

But then they couldn’t be “devisive”, exactly what they accuse POTUS of.
